Meatballs and spaghetti


Our dinner was amazing.  For the tomato sauce we boiled up a large can of chopped tomatoes with garlic, onions, herbs (thyme and rosemary) and some tomato puree.  After slowly simmering this mixture, we ended up with a rich and tasty sauce - without the fat.
The meatballs were made by adding finely chopped onions and garlic, then kneading the meat until it starting sticking together (stretching the proteins) - a little salt and pepper and some breadcrumbs if you wish will make perfect meatballs.
Finish with some grated parmesan!  Under 500 calories and we enjoyed a very tasty dish.
